Known for penning The Princess and the Frog and Treasure Planet, Edwards is now bringing to life the powerful true story of Robert Smalls in his bestselling graphic novel Defiant. Smalls, an enslaved man who commandeered a Confederate ship to secure freedom for himself and others, represents one of the boldest acts in American history. With a film adaptation from Legion M on the way, Edwards discusses his creative journey, the legacy of Smalls, and how history and pop culture collide in this groundbreaking project.
